Olivia,
you took action on August 22, 2013
But really wish the petition had a good target
Thanks Cal. We had some monarchs return again this year to lay their eggs on our milkweed but every year there are less and less.

Southern Ontario has had a 90% decrease in Monarch Butterflies this year. I have never used a pesticide in my garden, I have dozens of different types of plants in bloom, including butterfly weed (host plant for Monarchs) and I have seen 1 Monarch in my garden all summer.

When I was a child, my father had a huge field where he gardened. Half was vegetables, the other half was wild, and filled with grasses and milkweed. During the summer there were Monarchs flitting joyfully everywhere,..
